as well, because it is his property. It has been narrated from Ahmad that he should slaughter both the defective animal and [the animal] that is in his liability, and the specifically designated one does not return to his possession, because the right of the poor has attached to its designation, thus its slaughter becomes mandatory, just as if he had designated it by his initial vow.

Section: If the specifically designated animal goes missing, and he slaughters another in its place, then finds the [first] one, or designates an animal other than the missing one as a replacement for what was in his liability, then finds the missing one, he must slaughter them both. This is narrated from Umar, his son, and Ibn Abbas, and Aisha practiced it. Malik, al-Shafi'i, and Ishaq held this view. It can be inferred from our opinion regarding when a sacrificial animal becomes defective and he replaces it—[that he has] the right to do with it as he pleases—that one of them returns to his possession; because he has already slaughtered what was in his liability, so nothing else is required of him, just as in the case when a specifically designated animal becomes disabled. This is the view of the Ahl al-Ra'y. The basis for the first view is what was narrated from Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), that she offered two sacrificial animals and they went missing, so Ibn al-Zubayr sent her two sacrificial animals, which she slaughtered, and then the [original] two missing ones returned, so she slaughtered them as well and said: "This is the sunnah of the sacrificial animal." Related by al-Daraqutni. This refers to the sunnah of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), and because the right of Allah has attached to both of them by virtue of making them mandatory, or by slaughtering one and making the other mandatory.

Section: If he designates a defective animal for what is in his liability, it does not suffice him, and he is required to slaughter it, based on the analogy of his [Ahmad's] view regarding the Udhiyah (sacrificial animal of Eid), that if he designates it while it is defective, he is required to slaughter it, but it does not suffice him. And if he designates
